The Brunson 10 Gets Another Member

February 25, 2010

With the Brunson 10 barely even having half of its required members and with one of them leaving the group, it seemed as if it would take ages before it would reach its completion. With the addition of a new member, however, it seems as if Doyle’s Room is moving on again. Alex “AJKHoosier1” Kamberis has just become the fifth member of the Brunson 10.

Who is AJKHoosier1?

Alex “AJKHoosier1” Kamberis is a very accomplished online poker player who has over $4 million in online winnings. He’s not a lightweight in tournaments too, having had many deep finishes in various tournaments, even nabbing some first place wins. His most recent victory was the $25,000 buy-in High Roller Bounty Shootout at the North American Poker Tour Venetian Event. He also appeared at the final table of the World Championship of Poker Main Event back in 2008. Last year, he was barely seen in the poker world due to his taking a hiatus. He has only been seen in the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure since his appearance at the 2008 World Championships. This 2010, though, he promises to remind people that he can play. So we can safely assume that we will be seeing a lot of him this 2010. He’s going to be participating a lot in poker events, both online and offline. One place where we’ll surely see him is at the High Roller Bounty Event at the NAPT. He’s going to be competing against pros like Daniel Negreanu, Phil “OMGClayAiken” Galfond, Lee Markholt, and Andrew Robl. Kamberis is actually surprised that he was invited to this one, considering that he’s probably one of the lesser known players there. Still, he says that he hopes to ‘shine’ in this one so that he will be noticed and will be invited to more similar events.

If things had gone smoothly for the Brunson 10, Kamberis would have been the sixth member along with Amit Makhija, Chris Moorman, Zachary Clark, Alec Torelli, and Dani Stern. However, due to some developments, Alec Torelli had to leave the Brunson 10 after six months of joining. As such, Kamberis has just become the fifth member of the group. He will most probably show up in the promotions of Doyle’s Room and will be wearing its logo to the tournaments. Also, it’s likely that we will be seeing Kamberis in the site itself, playing poker with the other members of the site.
